"The class was informative and fun, the staff was helpful and friendly before and after class while browsing. Our instructor made everyone feel comfortable no matter their experience, and made sure to explain things, demonstrate the process, and watched us to offer support, encouragement and, if needed, correction to ensure we got the best edge on the knife we were working on!"
"Just attended a knife sharpening class taught by Robbie — he was patient and broke down every step for sharpening blades by hand. Over the last month I've also bought a bunch of knives both online and in-store, and the staff has been incredibly helpful every time. Highly recommend visiting and supporting this local Canadian business!"
"Two hours is a bit long if you've already watched a dozen KW sharpening videos online already. Definitely worth the in-person experience so you get some critique of your technique. I recommend watching the complete KW sharpening video series, take the class, re-watch the series with a better appreciation for the small details... and then sharpen knives every night for 10 days so you retain what you learned."
"I recently attended the sharpening class in Toronto. This was taught by Twigg. The class teaches the basics, and you bring your own western knives and sharpen them. You also get a discount on knives and sharpening gear on the day of the class. Overall, it was a good learning experience, and I purchased another knife (third from Knifewear). Would recommend for beginners."
"I thought the class was very interesting and informative about knife sharpening. I learned a lot about sharpening techniques. I really enjoyed the hands on part of the session. The two hours flew by and I wish we had more time to sharpen our knives. Definitely a great course if you want to sharpen your own knives properly. The store and staff are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about knives."
"I cannot recommend this sharpening class more highly. I have tried previously, on my own, several times to sharpen with whetstones using youtube videos for guidance. All of these attempts failed to result in a sharp knife. The instructors at Knifewear were amazing, not only showing and explaining the process but especially in correcting the many mistakes I was making. By the end of the class I had the sharpest knife I had ever owned. If you want to learn to sharpen knives, take this class."
"The knife sharpening class and it was fantastic, the instructor was very knowledgable and explained things well. I've always been curious how to use a whetstone and it was satisfying to learn with hands on experience, plus my old knife is sharpened! It was a worthwhile experience and I was glad to have done it."
"I had a great time at the sharpening class. I travelled from Kitchener and It was totally worth the travel time. (here to hoping they open a Kitchener store) Everyone at the store was very helpful, friendly and kind. I felt welcomed which is very hard to come by specifically in retail enviroment. I had a basic understanding of using stones but needed some extra guidance because i felt that i was not getting the edge i wanted from my knives. Robbie did a great job at helping me clear some of those doubts. I had a few more questions but i'm pretty sure folks at knifewear would be more than helpful to answer those when I visit next time. I had a pleasure of talking to Miachel at the store who let me try some of the knives I always wanted to try and help me guide for my future possible purchases. As ex industry person Miachel was very good at answering very task specific questions I had about some specific knives and shapes. I would highly recommend this class to everyone."
"Great class! I’ve always wanted to learn how to sharpen my own knives and tools. This was a great start. Thanks everyone at Knifewear!"
"Brought us through the basics with a demonstration and set us sharpening right away. Good setup. Provided guidance and feedback as we sharpened. Highly recommended"
